| General questions about my yorkie I was just wondering. I don't know alot about yorkies. We adopted fabio from the pound. I had always wanted a yorkie so when I saw him I had to have him. To me he looked like a yorkie. The vet said he couldn't tell. I read books on yorkies before I got him. But still have unanswered questions. So my questions are, What is the difference between my tan colored yorkie and the dark haired yorkies? Also, how can I tell if he is full bred yorkie? What are the most common inherited sicknesses yorkies get? Besides the collapsing trachea the vet told me about. Thanks guys!

| Fabio You are wonderful person rescuing Fabio...he looks Yorkie to me... Yorkies are prone to bad knees..keep him at a good weight..watch his teeth, they are prone to early tooth loss and tartar when not controlled...best wishes |

| Yea when we got him, the vet said he might have to remove all his teeth because they looked so bad. But when they put him under he only had to clean them. So they gave us a wax to put on his teeth once a month that he HATES. but we bought a toothbrush too. But thank you for the useful info!
